instructions
    1

    Begin by cooking the rice according to the package instructions. Usually, this takes about 15-20 minutes.

    2

    While the rice is cooking, prepare the teriyaki sauce. In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, mirin, sugar, and water. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.

    3

    Cut the chicken thigh into bite-sized pieces.

    4

    In a pan over medium heat, add a splash of oil and once hot, add the chicken pieces. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the chicken is browned and cooked through.

    5

    Pour the teriyaki sauce over the chicken, and let it simmer for 10 minutes. The sauce should thicken slightly and coat the chicken.

    6

    While the chicken is cooking, chop the green onions into small pieces for garnish.

    7

    Once the chicken is done, remove the pan from heat and let it rest for a couple of minutes.

    8

    Serve the rice in bowls, spoon the teriyaki chicken on top, and garnish with chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.

How to be creative
  • Make it a seafood version using salmon or shrimp instead of chicken.
  • Try serving it with different grains such as quinoa or brown rice for a healthier option.
  • Add a dash of spice with chili flakes or sriracha in the teriyaki sauce for a hot twist.
Important Tips
  • For additional flavor, marinate the chicken in soy sauce and mirin for 30 minutes prior to cooking.
  • Add sliced bell peppers or broccoli to the pan along with the chicken for extra nutrition and color.
  • Use a non-stick pan to prevent the teriyaki sauce from burning and sticking to the surface.
